Real Madrid are aiming to complete the signing of Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool before the start of the Club World Cup.

Liverpool could yet receive a transfer fee from Real Madrid for Trent Alexander-Arnold. The right-back confirmed on Monday his decision to leave the club this summer following the expiry of his contract, ending a two-decade-long association with his boyhood club, in which time he has won every competition available to him.

Alexander-Arnold didn’t mention his next destination when confirming his imminent departure from Liverpool on his social media accounts but the England right back is widely expected to move to Real Madrid on a free transfer.
